    I think you are asking how to disable taking a screen shot of the Apple Watch when pressing the digital crown and side buttons together briefly.

     

    You cannot do that.

     

    If you do not wish to take a screen shot, do not press the digital crown and side buttons together briefly.

    Hi

     

    To prevent screenshots from being taken accidentally, you may wish to try:

     

    • Wearing your watch a little higher on your wrist (ie away from your hand).
    • Wearing your watch band more tightly (exercise may otherwise cause it to move it from the usual position).
    • Wearing your watch on your other wrist or on the same wrist, but rotated by 180 degrees, so that the Digital Crown and side button are on the other side, where they may be less likely to be activated unintentionally.
      • To adjust the display settings, on your iPhone in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Watch Orientation - change the side for the Digital Crown.

    thanks.. Jonathan UK and  sberman

    sorry guys, it looks like my question was not clear enough.
    according to my expectations to turn off the screenshot function,

    now if I press one button Digital Crown (single button) necessarily be a screenshot of his functions action.

    should the appropriate menu icon at the beginning enabled.
    digital crown button serves to screenshoot
    I could never go to the Application Layout just on the clock function only.
    hopefully this explanation further explain my problem.
    So, my question is how to restore the function of the Digital Crown to the actual function not as a screenshot action.

    thank you so much for your kind attention.

    thanks you Jonathan


    all the advice you've done before, but could not change the functionality of digital crown according its main function.
    remains one touch digital digital crown his results do the screenshot, screenshot function Sethu me to have to squeeze together digital anatar crown with side button.

    as far as as i know The Digital Crown is like the home button on Apple Watch. No matter what screen you are on, you will be able to get to the home screen with one click.

    thank you for your kind attention

    Hi

     

    It is not presently possible to change the function of the Digital Crown. Pressing the Digital Crown should only cause a screenshot to be taken when the Side button is already also being pressed down.

     

    It may help to restart both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:

    - To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off;

    - To turn it on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

     

    If needed, next try force restarting your watch:

    - Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the logo.

     

    If the issue persists, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having your watch checked under warranty:

    While I understand that Apple's position is that "you should just not press those buttons", from my experience, using Apple Pay on the watch seems to drive up the incidence of accidental capture. When double-tapping the side button to enable Apple Pay, the watch frequently doesn't recognize the double-tap, putting the watch in "frequent/favorite contacts" mode, and the only way to get out and back to the main view is to press the crown - which takes a snapshot.  I've got piles of snapshots filling my stream from this particular sequence. 

     

    I'd encourage Apple to come up with a different answer here - certainly there are other ways to address this.

    Not if you have released the side button first!
